Terrence Malick: From essence to experience

-

I remember that moment i've heard about the Knight of Cup's project, a notice put in title: Released new poster and synopsis of Terrence Malick's film. Excited, mainly because i had liked "To The Wonder", I opened the link. The film poster looked to be provoking and the synopsis were summarized to a line: "A lost man in a world of fame". This is a genuinely Malick's mote in all the senses, because in these everyday journeys lives the frontier wich so remains in his films. The fury of a mother against God's evil, the fear of killing bigger than be killed, the anguish of a strange culture, the limits of a obsessive passion. The scale of this dramas is reduced by a essence that was always evocated by the thougts, and this is in all your movies since the Sissy Spacek's premiere in 1973. From there, however, the "empty" was never a conflit that suports itself just to exists. Malick uses this gaps to move forward the thinking process, like a way to discoverys what his characters was so crazy behind. That until 2011, with Tree of Life. What cames after that are looks so lost as the possibles answers.

And if they would work together? Just like Hitchcock had print for years a dramatic sphere in all his suspenses, Fincher certainly is a similar name in "crime" films. What's call attention in his way of telling is the choice very precise of what show to viewers. Nothing is enough clear in anytime; doesn't matter if he put a spoiler in the middle of script - his capacity of keep the suspense (from Hitchcock's school) is unequaled based on a atmosphere of fear. We see the shadows of Zodiac in the very first scene, and traces o

The brazilian multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal has a pretty quote in Francis Vale's documentary "Hermeto and Quarteto" (to be released this year), about a travel he makes to USA, when he doesn't undestanding the language: "The music haven't language, the music is the feeling". In another moment, he says: "The music is like the wind, like the stars, like the sky, like the mountains, It's nobody. Mainly the air we breath" The testimony is about the 50º aniversary of the unique Quarteto Novo's álbum, released in 1967 by one instrumentalist group formed, beyond Hermeto, by Theo de Barros, Heraldo do Monte and Airto Moreira. Without one word, eight musics acess almost mathematically (notes and arrangements) the imagination of consumer of a musical style wich can say more about himself than the lyric style. It's more or less this understanding of music's term than explains the bold concept of "ARTPOP", the fourth s
